In addition to St Helena, we love Calistoga, CA. So consider lodging at one of the numerous options there. It’s about a 7 mile/10 minute drive from Charles Krug, the wedding venue in St. Helena. We have listed some of our favorites below. Hotels here are small and September is peak season, so they are not offering us discounted group/block rates. Airbnb and VRBO is also an option.
